Question

One leg of a right triange mesures 15 m and the hypotenuse is 17 m, what is the length of the other leg?

Answer 1

8

Answer 2

\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]\[15^2 + b^2 = 17^2\]\[225 + b^2 = 289\]\[b^2 = 64\]\[b=\sqrt{64}\]\[b=8\]

Answer 3

you have to use the formula: x^2 + y^2 = r^2.
15^2 + y^2 = 17^2
225 + b^2 = 289
b^2 = 64
b = 64−−√
b = 8

Answer 4

\[\sqrt{64}\]

Answer 5
